This section highlights SERVIR-Africa's efforts in developing geospatial data and services. As the project progresses, the SERVIR-Africa geospatial portal will enable discovery of a wealth of content, as well as visualization of and access to the content. One can also search the Community Resource Registry for data and services that the geospatial community collectively has developed. We welcome comments and questions, and we thank you for your patience while we work on the portal.

Many institutions across Africa already have established a geospatial web service, but these are not easily discovered. In order to take stock, as well as improve use of these existing services, SERVIR-Africa is establishing a service registry. Initially, SERVIR-Africa will populate the registry with services of which SERVIR staff is aware.

In the context of ICSU-CODATA strategy for availing improved global road data, this project will contribute in two ways: 1) in testing and refining methods for roads data development and 2) beginning the process of compiling improved global roads data. The pilot area selected for this first exercise in Africa is located within the highlands of Ethiopia where road data is extremely erroneous and scant. The project will be implemented mainly by members of the ICSU-CODATA roads working group (CIESIN and AIST). The products will be made available through the SERVIR data portal. See: further details under Activities/Technical support.
